3 feet to 5 feet

that is how much snow we have around our house. we were told we just got 2 feet, but with all the drifts, we surpassed it! we had a 5 foot drift along the back of our house, and 2 ft of it were actually along the screen door. i looked at our cat and told him it was a good thing he was not a dog or he wouldn't be going potty! we have drifts that are almost over our fences. we shoveled at least 3 ft off our driveway. we live in a caldasac, i don't know how to spell it, and apparently we don't ever get plowed. so our one neighbor was determined to get out thursday so he shoveled from his driveway to the other road. it's not far but with three feet of snow, whew! we were at our neighbors house when he finished and when we were walking home, my husband shoveled from our driveway to the pathway. and so eventually did all the other neighbors. it is quite a sight! most of the roads were drivable today. the sun was out most of the day and helped to melt the snow, however, a lot of it just froze again and we are supposed to get flurries tomorrow! i still need to go shopping for my husband which i don't know if he deserves anything right now, but i'll get him stuff anyway. i'll have to get up early to do it so we can spend the day together (again, not sure if he's worthy of such treatment). then i have to work christmas eve. then it will be christmas, and then life will get normal again. it's like a roller coaster. those who really look forward to christmas and all the meanings behind it, take that really long track up a really steep hill. the chains going clink, clank, clink, clank, as you slowly reach the top. then on christmas eve, you just hang over the top of the hill, like you are in the first car (best seat ever!) then christmas day comes and you are down the hill, going 60 miles an hour and then it's over in a matter of minutes, or a day in this case. then you get off and start all over. i know. strange comparison,but somebody has to be odd! =) i guess i should go to bed early now so i can my husband his unworthy gifts. oh and if you want to know what he did, or didn't do, i'll tell you. i had to work tonight at my second job and was going to go to kohls since it's open till midnight. well, i don't know his shirt size so i called, and called, and called both phones. even left a message on both phones. did he answer any of them? NO! what if i was in a snowdrift or something? it's still not the safest of driving conditions! then to top it off, i get home and find that he deleted the message on the home phone and obviously was too lazy to go back downstairs and get his cell so he could be on it for two minutes to tell me what size dress shirt he wears. i'm so irritated. anyway, happy holidays!
